A beautiful woman, with no memories of her past, is found naked in Times
Square with her body fully covered in intricate tattoos. Her discovery
sets off a vast and complex mystery that immediately ignites the
attention of the FBI, which begins to follow the road map on her body
into a larger conspiracy of crime, while bringing her closer to
discovering the truth about her identity.

Blindspot isn't the dumbest show of the fall season, not by a lot. But oh God, does it ever sell itself out by cramming in the most labored, faux-action-movie dialogue.... The show moves briskly enough, and the performances are all fine, but the show's, well, blind spot is its off-putting use of women as props.

Melissa Maerz

Brian Lowry

While the premiere is very fast-paced and action-packed--created by Martin Gero, working in conjunction with prolific showrunner Greg Berlanti, taking a sort-of break from superheroes--one can see pretty quickly where all this is heading.

Rob Owen

While Ms. Alexander is an appealing lead actress, Blindspot feels like a too familiar, warmed-over series premise even though it’s the only “original” series concept among the three thrillers debuting in the next two days.

Alex McCown

Ed Bark

Blindspot has an initially intriguing premise and a compelling co-lead in Alexander. But there’s also some Silly Putty in play here, with Weller’s hard-charging man of action at times laughably intense amid all this oh-so deadly serious business.

Vicki Hyman

Maureen Ryan

Alexander and Stapleton, both appealing enough in their own right, to execute some basic action-adventure moves, though their characters have no discernible chemistry as yet. The Blindspot pilot is more or less efficient enough, even though few aspects of the premise make any real sense.

Sonia Saraiya

Isaac Feldberg

[The pilot episode is] still an incredibly tight, well-crafted hour of television, fast-paced enough to sell the ludicrous hook but trusting enough of its actors, particularly Alexander, to let them flex some dramatic muscle.

Mary McNamara

Ken Tucker

What keeps the first episode from slipping into absurdity is the commitment to action displayed by star Alexander and creators Martin Gero and Greg Berlanti.... Blindspot could be a good show--nothing revolutionary, but a fun escapade in the weeks ahead.

Deborah Day

The show moves quickly to establish not only Jane’s superior physicality, but also her hard-wired do-gooder tendencies and willingness to join the fray. At the same time, Blindspot creators seed their story with memory flashbacks intended to suspend the tension surrounding the character.

Dorothy Rabinowitz

Tim Goodman

Blindspot (not the title you’d expect or hope for when your series is about a woman covered in tattoos) has more than enough going for it early on, despite some real bouts of silliness, that it’s one of those few and elusive pilots that can be endorsed for at least initial evaluation. The reward for spending an hour is mostly worth it.

David Hinckley

Rob Lowman

The thriller created by Martin Gero can seem overly intricate at times, but the conspiracy doesn’t get in the way of the show’s early momentum. Where it goes from here is definitely worth checking out.

Hank Stuever

Brian Tallerico

From the beginning, dialogue is overdone and laughable. I don’t demand realism from a show about a tattooed naked woman dropped in Times Square, but there’s a line where it gets ridiculous instead of entertaining and Blindspot crosses it early and often.
